BREAKING NEWS: Pittsburgh Steelers Owner Art Rooney Stuns NFL World with Shocking Signing Announcement
In a move that has sent shockwaves throughout the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II made a surprise announcement today that could reshape the league’s balance of power. During a brief but explosive press conference at the team’s headquarters, Rooney confirmed that the Steelers have reached a deal to sign free agent quarterback and former MVP Lamar Jackson — a move no one saw coming.
“This is a bold step toward the future,” Rooney said. “We believe in competing at the highest level, and this signing reflects our commitment to bringing another championship back to Pittsburgh.”
The announcement comes amid swirling rumors and speculation regarding the Steelers’ quarterback situation. With Kenny Pickett traded to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this offseason and no clear starter in place, the franchise appeared to be entering a transitional period. But now, with Jackson under center, Pittsburgh instantly becomes a top AFC contender.
Jackson, who spent the first part of his career with the Baltimore Ravens, was surprisingly released earlier this week due to a contract dispute. Pittsburgh acted quickly, locking in a five-year, $275 million deal with $180 million guaranteed — a franchise record.
“I’m excited for a new chapter,” Jackson said in a pre-recorded statement. “It’s a fresh start, and I can’t wait to suit up in black and gold.”
NFL analysts are already calling this one of the most shocking signings in recent league history. Fans across the league are stunned — not only because of the move’s timing but also because of the fierce rivalry between the Ravens and Steelers, making Jackson’s new allegiance even more dramatic.
With Jackson joining a roster stacked with young talent and a revamped offensive line, the Steelers suddenly look like a force to be reckoned with in 2025. Training camp just got a lot more interesting in Pittsburgh.
